Itinerary:

Ice climbing is the best, let's go ice climbing! Hopefully there will be ice for us to climb. We'll head out Friday night to stay at Rampart Creek hostel. Then out for whatever ice climbs in the area are appealing. We might climb as a group, or we might break up to climb separately for the day & meet up back at the hostel. We'll come up with a plan the week before the trip when we know what conditions are and who is joining the trip. Some options I'd be keen to check out include Balfour wall, Meltout, Bison Falls, Tangle Falls, or Wet Dream.

Being able to lead ice isn't a requirement, but anyone joining this trip should have at least some previous ice climbing experience, be able to offer a safe lead belay on single or double ropes, and be willing & able to participate in group safety decisions.

I've already booked 6 spots at the hostel, which will be $27/person/night for the weekend. The hostel provides bedding, so no need to bring your own.

If you are interested to join the trip, please send me an email with the following information:
1) Your current ice climbing ability (what grades do you comfortably lead or second).
2) What routes you are interested to climb on the parkway?
3) Are you willing to lead a rope team, and if so, what specific climb or grade would you lead?
Required Items to Bring:
Ice climbing stuff, potluck dinner contribution

Recommended Items to Bring:
Plan for what you'd like to climb, sense of humour.

How to Get There:

Notes:
This is not a first come first on trip, participants will be selected to ensure the team has the capability to function safely and have a good time. A variety of skill levels is welcome on the trip. Position on the waitlist does not have an impact on whether you get on the trip.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!


*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
